An animal sanctuary at Playa Macao

​A Natural Sanctuary — A Mission from the Heart

​

Just 1 km from the famous Macao Beach and the village of El Macao, far from the noise and mass tourism, there is a different kind of place.

​A place where nature protects, where time slows down, and where every life counts.

We rescue abandoned, injured or malnourished dogs and horses — often found in critical condition or victims of severe abuse. Many would not have survived without swift intervention. Here, they finally find safety, care, kindness and respect.

​

Our mission

​Our mission is both simple and demanding: to treat, feed, vaccinate, sterilise, rehabilitate — and above all, to restore trust and the will to live.

​Each animal is guided patiently until it is ready to begin a new chapter.

​

Adoption​

Once recovered, we carefully seek responsible and loving adoptive families. Adoptions are handled with the utmost care: prospective adopters must demonstrate the emotional, practical and financial capacity to guarantee long-term wellbeing.​

We follow up afterwards, so that our rescued animals stay safe.

​

Here, luxury is not material​

It is in the eyes of an animal learning to trust again, in the bonds that form day after day, in the silence, the space and a generous natural setting.

​

Take part, if you wish​

Guests who wish to can take part in the daily care, at their own pace.

​Some leave transformed; others become volunteers and support our mission over time.

​

What your stay pays for​

Most of the income from stays and bookings goes to the care, feeding and wellbeing of the animals we have taken in.

​By staying with us, you are not only booking a holiday — you are helping to save lives.

​Thank you for being part of this human adventure.

​We hope to welcome you soon — for our animals, and perhaps for yourself too.
